hfst-strings2fst(1)

Usage

hfst-strings2fst [OPTIONS ...] [INFILE]

Overview

Compile string pairs and pair-strings into transducer(s)

Common options:

-h, --help: Print help message

-V, --version: Print version info

-v, --verbose: Print verbosely while processing

-q, --quiet: Only print fatal erros and requested output

-s, --silent: Alias of --quiet

Input/Output options:

-i, --input=INFILE: Read input strings from INFILE

-o, --output=OUTFILE: Write output transducer to OUTFILE

String and format options:

-f, --format=FMT: Write result in FMT format

-j, --disjunct-strings: Disjunct all strings instead of transforming each string into a separate transducer

--norm: Divide each weight by sum of all weights (with option -j)

--log: Take negative natural logarithm of each weight

--log10: Take negative 10-based logarithm of each weight

-p, --pairstrings: Input is in pairstring format

-S, --has-spaces: Input has spaces between symbols/symbol pairs

-e, --epsilon=EPS: Interpret string EPS as epsilon.

-m, --multichar-symbols=FILE: Strings that must be tokenized as one symbol.

If OUTFILE or INFILE is missing or -, standard streams will be used. FMT can be { foma, openfst-tropical, openfst-log, sfst, optimized-lookup-weighted, optimized-lookup-unweighted }. If EPS is not defined, the default representation of @0@ is used. Option --norm precedes option --log. The FILE of option -m lists all multichar-symbols, each symbol on its own line. Backslash '\' may be used to escape ':', tab and itself. For any other symbol x '\x' means x literally, i.e. is the same as 'x'. The weight of a string can be given after the string separated by a tabulator. The weight cannot be zero.

Examples

`echo "cat:dog" \| hfst-strings2fst`	create cat:dog fst
`echo "c:da:ot:g" \| hfst-strings2fst -p`	same as pairstring
`echo "c:d a:o t:g" \| hfst-strings2fst -p -S`	same as pairstring with spaces
`echo "c a t:d o g" \| hfst-strings2fst -S`	same with spaces
